The book is set in the 1970s, and it’s not easy to be the villain’s mother

At this time, Mrs. Du came to see her off with Du Daming.

Du Daming gave Xiuer a box of twelve-color crayons: "I bought this with my New Year's money. You can use it to draw, and let me see what the Northwest looks like."

Xiu'er took it: "Thank you, I will write to you."

Du Daming stretched out his hand to compare: "You are so much taller than me now. I will definitely be taller than you next time we meet."

Xiu'er smiled and said, "Don't brag, I'm definitely taller than you!"

Du Daming looked at her flowery smiling face and couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

At this time, the whistle sounded in my ears, and it was time to set off.

Gu Tian hugged Erbao tightly and kissed her hard: "When mom comes back, I will make it up to you."

Erbao seemed to understand his mother's words and called his mother with tears in his eyes.

Gu Tian's heart felt like a knife and she burst into tears: "I'm sorry..."

Du Jiang and Mrs. Du hugged the child and said, "Get in the car quickly, I promise not to let him grow up well!"

The crowd rushed forward. Shi Hongzhao held Xiu'er with one hand and protected Gu Tian with the other, and squeezed onto the train.

Gu Tian clung to the window and waved vigorously to her son until no one could be seen, and her tears fell again.

Shi Hongzhao said: "We will come back when we find the opportunity. Don't feel bad."

Xiu'er thrust a piece of toffee into Gu Tian's hand: "Mom, eat something sweet and you won't feel uncomfortable."

Gu Tian put the candy in her mouth and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional."

Shi Hongzhao asked her to lie down and put her things away.Went to get hot water again.

Seeing his wife sad, he felt even more guilty. He didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he could only keep doing things to take care of Gu Tian.

Gu Tian took out a notebook and wrote a letter: "I wonder if D'erbao will be able to read by this time next year? Let dad read the letter to him then."

Shi Hongzhao said: "Okay, I will find a way to buy a camera and take pictures of him then."

The train moved forward quickly, and many green trees and rice fields flashed past the window.

The people in the car were excitedly looking at the scenery outside, chatting, and eating at first, but as time went by, everyone began to feel numb.

Although Gu Tian was in a sleeper berth with better conditions, her feet gradually became swollen and she couldn't even wear the shoes she originally had, so she had to change to slippers.

Her throat was so sore that she couldn't eat, acne broke out on her face, she was constipated, and she had insomnia.

She was thinking about her son, her family, and being nervous about the future, and she felt particularly depressed.

She is like a tinderbox, getting angry from time to time.

Shi Hongzhao has always been by her side, bearing her anger and irritability.

Gradually, the scenery outside the window changed.

The green fields turned into patches of Gobi Desert, loess slopes, cave dwellings, and Elaeagnus jujuba trees scattered in the desert.

Occasionally, you can see an old man with a handkerchief on his head, driving the sheep.

Gu Tian said: "How was Yang Xiuyun feeling at that time?"

Shi Hongzhao thought for a while: "She must be thinking that these crimes are all because of us. She must come back early and kill us."

Gu Tian smiled. It took a lot of courage and resilience to get here. Yang Xiuyun relied on hatred to persevere.

Finally arrived.

There were not many people left on the train.

They stepped off the train with weak steps. The hot wind blew and the strong sunlight made it difficult to open their eyes.

"It's so hot. Where should we go next?" Xiu'er asked curiously.

Shi Hongzhao looked around: "They said someone was picking us up."

A short young man was talking, his face flushed from the sun, and his mouth full of white teeth when he smiled.

"It must be Deputy Factory Director Gu! My name is Huzi, and the factory asked me to pick you up. Get in the car quickly!"

As he spoke, he took the bags from Gu Tian and Xiu'er and walked towards an oversized tractor.

Well, actually it’s not bad, it’s better than walking over there.

Huzi drove the car and told them: "Sister-in-law's police station is very close to our factory. It only takes seven or eight minutes to walk. We found a place for you to live nearby. The minister said that you will not be allowed to live in the dormitory. "

"That's really troublesome for you."

"Should be!"

The road was a very bumpy dirt road, with pieces of loess rolling up wherever it passed.

Gu Tian staggered and almost vomited.

She squeezed her eyes shut and prayed to come soon.

At this time, Xiu'er shouted; "Mom, look, the horse!"

Gu Tian looked outside and saw a group of cavalry on a nearby dirt road, dozens of horses, and seven or eight people, carrying many heavy objects on their backs, struggling to walk forward.

The leader whistled when he saw the tractor.

The tiger man honked his horn a few times to say hello.

"Is it a caravan?"

"Yes." Huzi smiled and said, "When we came here to build a factory, the machines, materials, food and water were all transported by caravans."

The tractor drove until evening before arriving at their residence.

It was a large old cave dwelling, and there were several houses nearby, all of which were colleagues of Shi Hongzhao. They said they had gone to work and hadn't come back yet.

"This is the biggest and best one. Specially arranged for you."

"Thank you."

The glass of the outside windows was almost broken.The tent is also in tatters.

Gu Tian entered the house. It was quite cool. There were cabinets and boxes inside, but unfortunately there was dust everywhere.The bedding on the kang was very dirty and covered with dust.

There are gaps everywhere in the stove and fire wall inside, and it feels like the wall has collapsed and the house has collapsed.

Huzi helped with a simple cleaning of the room.

He brought over two more plastic buckets: "Every family is given two buckets of drinking water every week. There is a lake across the hillside in front, but the water there is said to be too salty to drink, but it can be used for bathing and washing clothes."

Gu Tian agreed: "Thank you very much."

Shi Hongzhao was resting outside on the collapsing staff and toilet.

He found a pair of water pots and a pole, and went to the back of the hillside to fetch water.

Gu Tian took old clothes from her luggage and used them as rags to clean the inside and outside of the house.

Xiu'er also helped her mother clear the Kang mat.

Gu Tian looked at the straw mat on the Kang mat, which was full of holes, and sighed.

"Why is my life so miserable? I have been living in books for so long and I still have to suffer!"

"Mom, what did you say?"

"Nothing, I asked, is it burnt by cigarette smoke?"

Xiu'er looked at it and said, "It seems so." She opened the kang mat and there were a lot of cigarettes underneath.There are also some change, food stamps, etc., which are very old.

Gu Tian helped clean up and found a one-inch black and white photo: "Hey, she looks good."

Here is a woman with braided hair, beautiful and moving.

Xiu'er came over to take a look: "Mom, she looks like you."

Gu Tian smiled and waved her hand: "Pull her down! I don't know anyone with a good-looking parent."

"Really. Dad, do you look like mother?"

Shi Hongzhao was repairing the stove outside. When he heard about it, he came over quickly, looked at the photo, then looked at Gu Tian, ​​and said with a smile: "Not as good-looking as your mother."

Xiu'er and Gu Tian exchanged polite words together, as if they had not said anything at all.
